This isn't a conversation about whether Big's levels are good or not or whether they belong in a Sonic game, but more the fact that the reaction to it is completely overblown by people that follow the game grumps and have never actually played the game themselves to realise it shouldn't take over an hour to complete. We've seen memes, shirts, animated shorts all that the expense of Big the Cat and his admittedly piss-easy 4 fishing levels and singular boss. In this instance I don't know what is more annoying Sonic team's complete disregard for their franchise integrity, or Arin literally having his incompetence at a video game affect the associated brand so heavily. "Everyone loves me except for most people." etc. Arin was brought in by the Sonic social media, making jokes about how they're "going to sit him down and force him to play all the Big levels." Funny joke to a point, but the lovelies of course responded to this in kind by following through on the joke and making these levels seem infinitely worse than they actually are, strictly on the basis of Arin being entirely incompetent at video games and making a living off of it.Īrin was then brought out to do an official collab song with the Jun Senoue of Crush 40, based entirely about how useless of a character Big the Cat is using lyrics I am entirely convinced were mostly adlibbed due to how painfully unfunny they are. Now let's take a quick look at what has become of the Sonic brand and Big the Cat specifically thanks to Arin.
But Arin is so stubborn and so incompetent that he never actually discovered to hook a fish you merely have to hold down on the control stick once a fish is biting and reel in, not letting the bar snap the line. Hardly any actual fighting from the fish themselves. What a lot of people don't seem to understand is that Big's actual fishing mechanics are quite literally "Baby's first fishing sim." No bait. They were put in because Sega had plans for fishing simulation games based on their arcade cabinets and they wanted to use Big as an opportunity to show off what the Dreamcast can do with it's water effects and fish AI.
#BIG THE CAT PODUCER HATE SIMULATOR#
I have a guilty pleasure of fishing simulator games so I may be one of very few people that are actually pretty forgiving of the Big levels. That is at least 1 hour and 20 minutes of pure gameplay of which Arin spent zero time of teaching himself the incredibly simple mechanics. Each being roughly 10 minutes long rounded down. It seems they spent approximately 8 episodes playing as Big. How did I manage such a feat? Why I read the tutorial on how the fishing mechanics worked of course. My completion of the Big The Cat campaign in Sonic Adventure 1 timed out at 23 minutes and 10 seconds, including cutscenes up until the start of the credits.
